Abstract
BACKGROUND CASC21 was reported to be a hotspot gene in cervical cancer. The relationship between CASC21 genetic polymorphisms and cervical cancer has not been reported. Genetic factors influence the occurrence of cervical cancer. Thus, we explored the correlation between CASC21 polymorphisms and cervical cancer. METHODS A total of 973 participants within 494 cervical cancer cases and 479 healthy controls were recruited. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CASC21 gene were genotyped using the Agena MassARRAY platform. Chi-squared test, logistic regression analysis, odds ratio (OR), multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR), and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were used for data analysis. RESULTS In the overall analysis, rs16902094 (p = .014, OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.12-3.08) and rs16902104 (p = .014, OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.12-3.09) had the risk-increasing correlation with the occurrence of cervical cancer. Stratification analysis showed that rs16902094 and rs16902104 were still associated with cervical cancer risk in the subgroups with age > 51, BMI < 24 kg/m2, smokers, and patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma. MDR analysis displayed that rs16902094 (.49%) and rs16902104 (.52%) were the main influential attribution factor for cervical cancer risk. CONCLUSION Our finding firstly determined that two CASC21 SNPs (rs16902094, rs16902104) were associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer, which adds to our knowledge regarding the effect of CASC21 on cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Gynecological malignancies are one of the main causes of cancer-induced mortality. Despite remarkable recent therapeutic advances, current therapeutic options are not sufficient. Regarding the effect of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) on cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, variations in their expression cause different anomalies, such as tumorigenesis. SNPs influence lncRNA function and expression. LncRNA polymorphisms can predict cancer risk and are effective for early diagnosis and customized therapy. In this literature review, we comprehensively investigate the effect of lncRNA polymorphisms on gynecological cancers. LncRNA-related variants are proposed to evaluate cancer incidence, early detection and management of personalized therapy. Nonetheless, more studies are required to validate the consistency of current findings in numerous samples and across various ethnic groups.

Abstract
To date, no study delineates the relationships among the genetic variants of long intergenic noncoding RNA 673 (LINC00673) and uterine cervical carcinogenesis as well as clinicopathological parameters and 5 years survival of cervical cancer patients in Taiwan. Therefore, the involvement of LINC00673 polymorphisms in cervical cancer was investigated. Genotypic frequencies of three LINC00673 polymorphisms rs6501551, rs9914618 and rs11655237 were determined in 199 patients including 115 patients with invasive cancer, 84 with precancerous lesions, and 274 control females using real-time polymerase chain reaction. It revealed that LINC00673 polymorphisms were not found significantly related to development of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer patients with genotypes AG/GG in LINC00673 rs6501551 had more risk to have tumor diameter larger than 4 cm as compared to those with genotype AA (p=0.043). Cervical cancer patients with genotype GG in rs6501551 had worse 5 years survival as compared to those with genotypes AA/AG in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio: 4.70; p=0.097). However, only two patients exhibiting GG were noted, and one had mortality, another had no mortality. In conclusion, larger sample size needs to verify the associations of LINC00673 genetic variants with clinicopathological parameters and patient survival of cervical cancer for Taiwanese females.

Genetic Polymorphisms of lncRNA LINC00673 as Predictors of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression in an Elderly Population. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232112737. [PMID: 36361527 PMCID: PMC9654806 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232112737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Long noncoding (lnc)RNAs are reported to be key regulators of tumor progression, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The lncRNA long intergenic noncoding RNA 00673 (LINC00673) was indicated to play an important role in HCC progression, but the impacts of genetic variants (single-nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) of LINC00673 on HCC remain unclear. A TaqMan allelic discrimination assay was performed to analyze the genotypes of three tagging SNPs, viz., rs9914618 G > A, rs6501551 A > G, and rs11655237 C > T, of LINC00673 in 783 HCC patients and 1197 healthy subjects. Associations of functional SNPs of LINC00673 with HCC susceptibility and clinicopathologic variables were analyzed by logistic regression models. After stratification by confounding factor, we observed that elderly patients (≥60 years) with the LINC00673 rs9914618 A allele had an increased risk of developing HCC under a codominant model (p = 0.025) and dominant model (p = 0.047). Moreover, elderly patients carrying the GA + AA genotype of rs9914618 exhibited a higher risk of having lymph node metastasis compared to those who were homozygous for the major allele (p = 0.013). Genotype screening of rs9914618 in HCC cell lines showed that cells carrying the AA genotype expressed higher LINC00673 levels compared to the cells carrying the GG genotype. Further analyses of clinical datasets from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) showed that LINC00673 expressions were upregulated in HCC tissues compared to normal tissues, and were correlated with advanced clinical stages and poorer prognoses. In conclusions, our results suggested that the LINC00673 rs9914618 polymorphism may be a promising HCC biomarker, especially in elderly populations.

Abstract
Objective: The relationship between gene polymorphisms in long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) and cervical cancer susceptibility has been thoroughly analyzed; however, the conclusions are inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to accurately assess the relationship between them. Method: Eligible literatures were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang databases before 1 April 2022. The odds ratios with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were used to evaluate the strength of these relationships. Sensitivity analysis for publication bias was conducted to assess the stability and reliability of included literatures. Results: A total of 59 SNPs in 11 LncRNAs were summarized for a systematic review in this study, and then, a meta-analysis of rs920778 and rs4759314 polymorphisms in HOTAIR and rs217727 polymorphisms in H19 was conducted. The results demonstrated that rs920778 and rs4759314 polymorphisms were significantly correlated with cervical cancer susceptibility. Further subgroup analysis of rs920778 polymorphism showed that both small sample size and large sample size subgroups were associated with cervical cancer susceptibility. However, no association was found between rs217727 polymorphism and cervical cancer risk in all five genetic models. Conclusion: In conclusion, the rs4759314, rs920778, and rs217717 polymorphisms of HOTAIR and H19 may be associated with cervical cancer. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to the limited sample and heterogeneity in this study. Large-scale and well-designed studies need to be practiced to validate our results.

Abstract
Background Metastasis and recurrence are the main causes of death from cervical cancer (CC), thus it is important to identify more effective biomarkers to improve its prognosis. The purpose of our research was to determine the potential role of autophagy-related long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in CC and to construct an autophagy-related lncRNA signature for survival of CC. Methods The lncRNAs in CC were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and autophagy-related lncRNAs were identified through the co-expression of lncRNA genes and autophagy genes. Several autophagy-related lncRNAs with prognostic value (AC012306.2, AL109976.1, ATP2A1-AS1, ILF3-DT, Z83851.2, STARD7-AS1, AC099343.2, AC008771.1, DBH-AS1, and AC097468.3) were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and a prognostic signature was established. The signature effect was detected by univariate Cox regression analysis [hazard ratio (HR) =1.665; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.331–2.082; P<0.001] and multivariate Cox regression analysis (HR =1.738; 95% CI: 1.359–2.223; P<0.001). A nomogram was drawn by risk score and clinical features. Results The prognostic signature could predict the survival of CC by survival-receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve [area under the curve (AUC) =0.810]. A nomogram was drawn by risk score and clinical features, and its c-index and calibration curve demonstrated that the prognostic signature could independently predict the prognosis of CC (P<0.001). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) confirmed that the genes were significantly enriched in cancer- and autophagy-related pathways (P<0.05). Conclusions This 10 autophagy-related lncRNA signature has prognostic potential for CC. More important roles in the CC biology of these lncRNAs may be identified with further study.

Abstract
Objective This meta-analysis was performed to identify the prognostic value of SLNCR1 in multiple cancer types. Methods Electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Medline, BioMed Central, Springer, Science Direct, and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), were searched for relevant studies up to August 2021, and the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated to assess the relationship between SLNCR1 expression and overall survival (OS). Results 12 studies with a total of 1155 patients with 9 different types of cancers were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled HR indicates that high SLNCR1 expression represented poorer prognosis of cancer (HR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.59–2.80, I2 = 0%, P < 0.00001). Additionally, high SLNCR1 expression was correlated with TNM stage (odds ratio (OR): 1.72, 95% CI: 1.08–2.74, I2 = 62%, P=0.02), lymph node metastasis (LNM) (OR:2.42, 95% CI: 1.61–3.64, I2 = 55%, P < 0.0001), and distant metastases (DM) (OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.50–3.55, I2 = 27%, P=0.0002). However, no evidence was found for a relationship between SLNCR1 expression and clinical features such as tumor size (OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 0.93–3.14, I2 = 71%, P=0.09), age (OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.68–1.08, I2 = 0%, P=0.19), or gender (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.64–1.81, I2 = 55%, P=0.79). Conclusion Our findings found that high SLNCR1 expression was associated with poor OS, advanced tumor stage, tumor size, LNM, and DM in multiple cancers, indicating that SLNCR1 may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for cancer patients in China.

Abstract
Many epidemiological studies have confirmed that ICAM-1 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with susceptibility of various cancers, but there are relatively few studies on the relationship between ICAM-1 gene polymorphisms and the risk of cervical cancer. Therefore, we aimed to explore the potential role of ICAM-1 gene polymorphisms and the combined effect of SNPs in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer in Han women in northern China. This case–control group includes 488 cases of cervical cancer, 684 cases of cervical precancerous lesions, and 510 healthy females. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with the next-generation sequencing method was used for the determination of gene polymorphisms (rs5498, rs3093030, and rs281432). In our study, we divide cervical cancer into two subgroups: cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) group and cervical adenocarcinoma (CAC) group. We analyzed the alleles and genotypes of all research subjects using multivariate logistic regression analysis combined with 10,000 permutation tests. In addition, we also analyzed the distribution of haplotypes of the three SNPs in cervical cancer and cervical precancerous lesions. We found that the T allele and the dominant model of rs3093030 were associated with the susceptibility of cervical cancer (p = 0.042, p = 0.040, respectively). However, the significance disappeared after the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (p > 0.05). For rs5498, its mutant gene G, the codominant model, and the dominant model could reduce the risk of CAC (p = 0.009, p = 0.028, p = 0.011, respectively). Significant differences remained after Bonferroni correction (p < 0.05, all). In addition, the frequency of haplotype “CTG” was significantly lower in the CAC group than in the controls. In conclusion, the study suggested that ICAM-1 gene polymorphisms may have a potential role in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer in the northern Chinese Han population.

Transl Pediatr 2021; 10:1890-1895. [PMID: 34430437 PMCID: PMC8349947 DOI: 10.21037/tp-21-291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous researches have suggested that LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism might be correlated to cancer susceptibility. However, its correlation with pediatric glioma is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism is correlated with pediatric glioma. METHODS In total, we included 399 subjects from South China. The Student's t-test was performed to evaluate age differences between glioma cases and controls. Differences in the categorical variables between the two groups were assessed using the χ2 test. A logistic regression was conducted to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS We conducted this case-control study to investigate the association between LINC00673 polymorphism and pediatric glioma susceptibility. Our results revealed that LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism was not correlated to pediatric glioma susceptibility in a Chinese population (CC/CT compared with TT: adjusted OR =2.49, 95% CI: 0.87-7.15, P=0.091). Furthermore, a stratified analysis also indicated LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism did not increase the risk of glioma in different subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism was not correlated to pediatric glioma susceptibility in a Chinese population. In the future, further exploration of this genetic factor in relation to glioma susceptibility will require a larger sample size to verify the current findings.

Association of LINC00673 Genetic Variants with Progression of Oral Cancer. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11060468. [PMID: 34070517 PMCID: PMC8227532 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11060468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multifactorial malignancy, and its high incidence and mortality rate remain a global public health burden. Polymorphisms in the long intergenic noncoding RNA 673 (LINC00673) have been currently connected to the predisposition to various cancer types. The present study attempted to explore the impact of LINC00673 gene polymorphisms on the risk and progression of OSCC. Three LINC00673 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs11655237, rs9914618, and rs6501551, were evaluated in 1231 OSCCC cases and 1194 cancer-free controls. We did not observe any significant association of three individual SNPs with the risk of OSCC between the case and control group. However, while assessing the clinicopathological parameters, patients carrying at least one minor allele of rs9914618 (GA and AA; OR, 1.286; 95% CI, 1.008–1.642; p = 0.043) were found to develop lymph node metastasis more often compared to those who are homozygous for the major allele. Further stratification analyses revealed that this genetic correlation with increased risk of lymphatic spread was further fortified in habitual betel quid chewers (OR, 1.534; 95% CI, 1.160–2.028; p = 0.003) or smokers (OR, 1.320; 95% CI, 1.013–1.721; p = 0.040). Moreover, through analyzing the dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we found that elevated LINC00673 levels were associated with the development of large tumors in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and the risk of lymphatic spread in smokers. These data demonstrate a joint effect of LINC00673 rs9914618 with betel nut chewing or smoking on the progression of oral cancer.

Abstract
Objective To study the expression of LINC00673 in cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and to explore the role of LINC00673 in the development of cervical cancer. Methods The expression of LINC00673 in serum from cervical cancer patients, CIN patients, and healthy participants was detected by RT-qPCR. The function of LINC00673 in cervical cancer cells was analyzed using in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results Our results revealed that serum LINC00673 levels were highest in cervical cancer patients, followed by patients with CIN and healthy controls. In vitro experiments demonstrated that overexpression of LINC00673 enhanced the proliferation and cell cycle progression of HeLa and SiHa cells. In vivo experiments showed that the tumor weight and volume of nude mice subcutaneously injected with LINC00673-overexpressing HeLa cells were larger than those of nude mice injected with control cells (P < 0.05). Western blotting showed that cell cycle-related proteins cyclin A2 and cyclin E and interstitial-associated proteins Snail and N-cadherin were upregulated and p53 signaling pathway-related proteins were downregulated in LINC00673-overexpressing HeLa and SiHa cells. Conclusion LINC00673 plays an important role in the development of cervical cancer and may serve as a new therapeutic target for cervical cancer.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common tumor in women worldwide. Studies have been accepted that genetic variations play an important role in the development of CC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of TCF7L1 variants on CC risk. Methods 508 patients of cervical cancer and 497 healthy subjects were recruited to determine the impact of TCF7L1 polymorphisms on CC susceptibility. The associations were investigated by computing odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals. The effect of SNP-SNP interactions on CC risk was explored by multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis. Results Our study showed that rs11904127 (OR 0.79, p = 0.010) and rs62162674 (OR 0.82, p = 0.044) of TCF7L1 significantly decreased cervical cancer risk. Stratified analysis indicated that rs11904127 and rs62162674 present decreased susceptibility to CC in age > 51 years (OR 0.74, p = 0.019; OR 0.72, p = 0.014, respectively). Haplotype analyses revealed that Grs2366264Trs11689667Crs62162674 has a lower risk to cervical cancer (OR = 0.43, p = 0.018). Besides, there is strong interaction of rs11904127 and rs2366264. Conclusion Rs11904127 and rs62162674 in TCF7L1 are related to cervical cancer. We suggest that these variants can be used as prognostic markers for judging the susceptibility to cervical cancer.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) act as regulators and play important roles in a variety of biological processes. These regulators constitute a huge information network among genes and participate in the pathophysiological process of human diseases. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that LncRNA, as an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene, is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. Linc00673 is a recently discovered LncRNA molecule that is dysregulated in several solid tumors. Moreover, its genetic polymorphism is believed to affect the susceptibility of a population to the corresponding cancer species. This article summarizes the role of Linc00673 in different human cancers and its molecular mechanisms with a focus on the characteristics of Linc00673 and the existing literature on it while highlighting the future research directions for Linc00673. Linc00673 has the potential to become a feasible clinical diagnostic and prognostic marker toward providing a new molecular therapeutic target for cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective Cervical cancer is a common gynecologic cancer, and no study has been reported on the way through which lncRNA SNHG1, miR-195 and NEK2 jointly affect cervical cancer cells (CCCs), so this paper will explore a new approach to the development of cervical cancer in this respect. Methods Altogether 72 cervical cancer tissues and 54 adjacent tissues were collected. qPCR was performed to quantify lncRNA SNHG1 and miR-195, whose expression vectors were constructed and then transfected into CCCs, so as to observe their effects on the cells. Western blotting (WB) was carried out to detect protein levels. MTT assay was conducted to detect cell activity. Flow cytometry was performed to detect cell apoptosis. Transwell was carried out to detect cell invasion and migration. Results The expression of lncRNA SNHG1 up-regulated while that of miR-195 down-regulated in CCCs. lncRNA SNHG1 regulated NEK2 through its targeted binding to miR-195. The down-regulation of lncRNA SNHG1 or the up-regulation of miR-195 led to the decrease of NEK2 and the reduction of cells’ activity, migration and invasion, also resulting in the increase of cell apoptosis. Rescue experiments showed that the down-regulation of miR-195 could offset the cell changes caused by lncRNA SNHG1. Conclusion lncRNA SNHG1 promotes the progression of cervical cancer through the miR-195/NEK2 axis, so lncRNA SNHG1, miR-195 and NEK2 may have potential values for diagnosing and treating cervical cancer.

LINC00673 exerts oncogenic function in cervical cancer by negatively regulating miR-126-5p expression and activates PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Cytokine 2020; 136:155286. [PMID: 32950808 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2020.155286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have indicated the crucial regulator roles of a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00673 in cancer pathogenesis and development. However, the clinical significance and functional effects of LINC00673 in cervical cancer remains unknown. METHODS LINC00673 mRNA expression in cervical cancer tissues was measured by quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and the association between LINC00673 expression and the overall survival (OS) time of patients was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival plot. Cell proliferation was assessed using CCK8 assay, Flow cytometry analysis and cell colony formation assay. The association between miR-126-5p and LINC00673 was clarified by Luciferase activity assay. Furthermore, xenografts model in mice in vivo were used to evaluate the effects of LINC00673 expression on tumor growth of cervical cancer. RESULTS It was confirmed that the relative mRNA expression of LINC00673 was promoted in cervical cancer tissues and cancer cell lines compared with its corresponding normal tissues and cells (P < 0.05). Higher LINC00673 expression was associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (P < 0.05). Survival analysis showed higher LINC00673 expression predicted poor OS of cervical cancer patients, and Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that higher LINC00673 expression was identified as an independent risk factor for OS. LINC00673 overexpression promoted cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, but LINC00673 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation and cell cycle progression significantly (P < 0.05). Besides, overexpression of LINC00673 was negatively correlated with lower miR-126-5p expression in cervical cancer tissues. In vivo xenograft tumor assay indicated that LINC00673 silencing reduced the tumor volume and weight. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that miR-126-5p targeted 3'-UTR of LINC00673, and LINC00673 promoted cell proliferation by sponging to miR-126-5p in cervical cancer cells. Additionally, it was demonstrated that LINC00673 significantly activated the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in cervical cancer cells. CONCLUSION These results provide the evidence that LINC00673 overexpression promotes cervical cancer cells progression through regulating miR-126-5p and activating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, indicating that LINC00673 may be a potential therapeutic target for cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies on the relationship between LINC00673 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility have been inconsistent. To perform a more comprehensively quantitative assessment of LINC00673 rs11655237 and risk of overall cancer, we operated this meta-analysis for the first time. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted to obtain relevant literature up to November 20, 2019. Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were utilized to assess rs11655237 and cancer susceptibility under five different genetic models. RESULTS Eventually, 11 case-control studies from 9 articles were included. We found that LINC00673 rs11655237 polymorphism increased the susceptibility to overall cancer under all genetic models in the overall population. By dividing ethnicity and cancer type into subgroups, we also obtained similar positive results in subgroups of Chinese population, pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer, neuroblastoma, hepatoblastoma and gastric cancer. CONCLUSION Overall, this meta-analysis has demonstrated for the first time that LINC00673 rs11655237 could increase susceptibility to cancer.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a malignant tumour that occurs in the cervix and is classified into two histological types, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC); SCC is more common and accounts for 70% of all cases. In 2018 there were ~569,000 new cases of cervical cancer diagnosed worldwide and ~311,000 deaths were attributed to cervical cancer. Of these, between 84 and 90% occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as South Africa, India, China and Brazil. The most common cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection caused by the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus. Other factors that contribute to the incidence of cervical cancer include geography, traditional practices and beliefs, the screening levels, socioeconomic status, healthcare access, public awareness, use of oral contraceptives, smoking and co-infection with HIV. An estimated 11 million women from LMICs will be diagnosed with cervical cancer in the next 10-20 years. The aim of this review was to explore various types of genetic and epigenetic factors that influence the development, progression or suppression of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer is a frequent, common cancer in women, and causes high cancer‐related deaths among women in our world. Accumulating studies provided an important evidence for long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) polymorphisms in the susceptibility of various cancer. Here, we recruited 494 cervical cancer cases and 504 unrelated controls to assess the relationship between CASC15 (OMIM# 616610) polymorphisms and cervical cancer susceptibility. Methods Agena MassARRAY platform was conducted to genotype CASC15 polymorphisms. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were analyzed through logistic regression to adjust for confounding factors, such as age and gender. Results Our study suggested that rs12212674 (NC_000006.12:g.22086845T>A) “A” allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.01–1.69, p = .041). The result was demonstrated in the log‐additive model (OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.02–1.72, p = .037). After age stratification, we also found that the “TT” genotype of rs4712653 (NC_000006.11:g.22125964T>C) in CASC15 was interaction with a higher cervical cancer risk in subjects aged ≤51 years in the co‐dominant model (OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.02–4.25, p = .044) and the recessive model (OR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.05–4.24, p = .036). Whereas no significant correlation was found among other SNPs of CASC15 polymorphisms and the risk of cervical cancer.

Zhu W, Li L, Li D. Rs11655237 polymorphism of LINC00673 affects the prognosis of cervical cancer by interfering with the interaction between LINC00673 and microRNA-1231. J Cell Physiol 2020; 235:8155-8166. [PMID: 31957869 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.29470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is known to disrupt the binding between lncRNAs and microRNAs. In this paper, we aimed to explore the role of LINC00673 rs11655237 SNP in the survival of cervical cancer (CC). Real-time polymerase chain reaction and western-blot analysis were used to detect expressions of LINC00673 and microRNA-1231 (miR-1231) in CC patients with different rs11655237 SNP genotypes. And the expression of LINC00673, miR-1231, and IFNAR1 was measured in mice and cells treated with exosomes carrying GG, GA, and AA rs11655237 genotypes. Compared with patients carrying the rs11655237 A allele of LINC00673 rs11655237 SNP, patients carrying the G allele showed higher overall survival and higher miR-1231 expression. In addition, the expression of miR-1231 was the highest in patients carrying the GG genotype and the lowest in patients carrying the AA genotype. Furthermore, the exosomes carrying GG, GA, and AA genotypes of LINC00673 rs11655237 SNP reduced tumor growth in mice, while the inhibitory effect of rs11655237 A allele was much stronger than that of the rs11655237 G allele. Additionally, exosome treatment upregulated the expression of LINC000673 and IFNAR1 while downregulating the expression of miR-1231. Interestingly, the A allele of rs11655237 generated a binding site for miR-1231 and subsequently affected the expression of IFNAR1, a target gene of miR-1231 containing a miR-1231 binding site in its 3'-untranslated region. Cells transfected with exosomes carrying GG, GA, and AA genotypes of LINC00673 rs11655237 SNP achieved higher LINC000673 and IFNAR1 expression along with lower miR-1231 expression. Therefore, rs11655237 can be used as a prognostic biomarker for CC.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma upregulated long noncoding RNA (HULC), identified as an oncogene in cervical cancer, is involved in not only the clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, and depth of cervical invasion but also outcome. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between 3 polymorphisms (i.e., rs1041279, rs3005167, and rs7770772) in the promoter of HULC and the risk of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). The polymorphisms were genotyped using the multiplex ligase detection reaction assay. The promoter activity was measured using the dual-luciferase reporter assay kit. The rs1041279 GG genotype and G allele revealed a significantly higher risk of CSCC compared with the rs1041279 CC genotype and C allele (GG vs. CC, adjusted OR = 1.79, 95% CI, 1.17-2.73, P = 0.007; G vs. C, adjusted OR = 1.36, 95% CI, 1.09-1.69, P = 0.006). Haplotype analysis revealed that the rs3005167C-rs7770772G-rs1041279C or rs3005167C-rs7770772G-rs1041279G haplotype had a significantly higher risk of CSCC compared to the rs3005167G-rs7770772G-rs1041279C haplotype (CGC vs. GGC, OR = 2.38, 95% CI, 1.53-3.75, P < 0.001; CGG vs. GGC, OR = 3.76, 95% CI, 2.12-6.68, P < 0.001). Dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that the rs1041279 G promoter resulted in higher transcriptional activity compared with the rs1041279 C (P < 0.01). Additionally, the rs1041279 GG genotype carriers had an increased level of HULC expression (P = 0.03). These findings suggest that the HULC rs1041279 may be a useful marker for the etiology of CSCC.

[PMID: 31657076 DOI: 10.1002/jgm.3133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2019] [Revised: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 10/12/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Wilms tumor, a frequently occurring pediatric renal cancer worldwide, originated from the embryonal nephric mesenchyme. However, epidemiological data on the association between LINC00673 polymorphisms and Wilms tumor risk are scant. This case-control study was conducted to investigate the potential role of the LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism in the susceptibility to Wilms tumor. METHODS In the present study, we conducted a genotyping analysis of LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T in 414 cases and 1199 controls recruited from five hospitals in China. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated from multiple logistic regression models to determine the association of LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism and Wilms tumor susceptibility. RESULTS No significant association between the LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism and Wilms tumor risk was observed (CT versus CC: adjusted OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.71-1.15; TT versus CC: adjusted OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.50-1.49; TT/CT versus CC: adjusted OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.71-1.13; and TT versus CC/CT: adjusted OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.52-1.53). We also failed to make any remarkable findings for this genotype in the stratification analysis. CONCLUSIONS In summary, we failed to provide any evidence in favor of the significant susceptibility of rs11655237 C>T polymorphism in LINC00673 to Wilms tumor. These data could be useful for reinforcing our understanding of the potential contribution of LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T to Wilms tumor susceptibility.

CDK6 3'UTR polymorphisms alter the susceptibility to cervical cancer among Uyghur females. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2019; 7:e626. [PMID: 30829464 PMCID: PMC6503018 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2018] [Revised: 01/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Cyclin dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) plays a crucial role in malignant tumor whereas less is reported in cervical cancer development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of CDK6 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) polymorphisms on cervical cancer susceptibility among Uyghur females. METHODS The genotypes of the six CDK6 variants (rs8179, rs42032, rs42033, rs42034, rs42035, and rs42038) were identified among 306 cervical cancer cases and 310 healthy controls with the Agena MassARRAY platform. The associations of the candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the cervical cancer risk were evaluated under genetic models using conditional logistic regression analysis. Bioinformatics analysis was performed for SNP function prediction with the online databases. The expression differences between tumor tissues and normal cervix samples were also examined by Real-time PCR. RESULTS CDK6 rs8179 and rs42033 were correlated to the decreased risk of cervical cancer in Uyghurs under the allele model (rs8179 and rs42033: OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37-0.99, p = 0.043) and log-additive model (rs8179 and rs42033: OR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.38-1.00, p = 0.047). Rs8179, rs42032, and rs42033 were associated with susceptibility to high-grade cervical cancer in different genetic models as well (p < 0.05). Dataset-based analysis also uncovered the potential effects of these significant SNPs. In addition, aberrant expression of CDK6 were detected in cervical tumors. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested the relationships between CDK6 3'UTR polymorphisms and cervical cancer pathogenesis, and the involvement of CDK6 in cervical cancer development among Uyghur females.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma is the most frequently diagnosed neural tumor of childhood. Abnormal function of the long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) LINC00673 has been implicated in various human malignancies. Genome-wide association studies revealed the LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism to be associated with the risk of neuroblastoma, though the effect was not well defined, in part due to the small sample size in our earlier study. Herein, we verified the impact of LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T on the risk of neuroblastoma in 700 cases and 1516 controls from six centers in China. After pooling all enrolled patients, we observed a significant association between LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T and risk of neuroblastoma (TT vs. CC: adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.58, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.06-2.35, P=0.024; additive model: adjusted OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.03-1.39, P=0.020; recessive model: adjusted OR=1.50, 95% CI=1.02-2.22, P=0.040). Stratification analysis revealed a significant relationship between rs11655237 CT/TT and neuroblastoma risk in subgroups of males, patients whose tumor originated in the adrenal gland, and patients with clinical stage IV disease. These findings add new evidence of the importance of LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T to the risk of developing neuroblastoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common hepatic malignancy in children, accounting for approximately 80% of all childhood liver tumors. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have found that the LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism is associated with the risk of several different adult cancers. However, the association between this polymorphism and HB susceptibility remains unclear. METHODS We analyzed the association between the LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism and HB susceptibility in a hospital-based study of Chinese children. We enrolled 213 HB patients and 958 healthy controls with genotypes determined by TaqMan, and the strength of the association of interest was determined by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). FINDINGS We found a significant association between the LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism and HB risk (CT/TT compared with CC: adjusted OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.04-1.88, p = 0.029). Furthermore, stratified analysis indicated that rs11655237 T allele carriers in the following subgroups were more likely to develop HB: children older than 17 months, males, and those with tumors of clinical stages III + IV. INTERPRETATION In conclusion, we confirmed that the LINC00673 rs11655237 C>T polymorphism may be associated with HB susceptibility. Prospective studies with larger sample sizes and patients of different ethnicities are needed to validate our findings.
